What’s the plot of Outlander?

Outlander revolves around a former nurse Clarie Randall from World War II who is mysteriously swept back in time to 1743, where she is immediately thrown into an unknown world where her life is threatened.

She marries Jamie, a romantic young Scottish warrior, because of necessity but then she quickly falls in love. She is suspected of being a spy, so the highlanders retain her as a healer, preventing her from attempting to return to her own time. Later, she gets pregnant with Jamie’s child and they plan to move to Paris, France. This series spans the genres of romance, science fiction, history, adventure, and politics in an epic tale.

The sixth season of Outlander sees a continuation of Claire and Jamie’s fight to protect those they love, as they navigate the difficulties and hardships of life in colonial America. In Season 6, the Frasers and the MacKenzies will continue healing from the concussions and the defeats.
